Hosting

Hosting is an important revenue stream for Channel Partners, and managed offerings enable Channel Partners to move from a capital expenditure to operating expenditure business model through the creation of recurring revenue streams. Customers who purchase hosting become more dependent on the provider, generating further revenues for both parties. Claranet's extensive European network means Channel Partners can offer multiple hosting and co-location options to customers, from multiple and tier-one locations across the continent.

Claranet is leading the way towards the utility based IP services model, delivering applications on-demand to end-users. Channel Partners can offer value added IP application services from Claranet's network, delivered directly to the customer's desktop to the overall benefit of the relationship.

Benefits to customers

Outsourcing hosting requirements means a dramatically reduced total cost of ownership on IT infrastructure, including applications, hardware, maintenance and future upgrade requirements. Managed hosting increases overall resilience for Channel Partners and Customers as Claranet seamlessly manages the system and services upgrades, maintaining a consistent level of security and reliability.
